What does the surge in the Australian dollar mean for the global economy?

by Leave a Comment

australian dollar fx rate

There’s been great interest surrounding the Australian economy – both on these shores and overseas – since a surge in value for the Aussie dollar. As July turned into August, the dollar shot beyond 80 US cents – almost 10 US cents higher than the rate last November and far higher than early 2016 and September 2015, when it dipped below 70 US cents.

Those sorts of figures are always going to spark interest in everyone from people trading in the forex markets to big businesses, politicians and academics – especially since the trend has been in evidence for a couple of months now. But what do they show? Do these figures hint at any underlying trends in the global economy?

The US is important

For some time now, global economies have been closely intertwined. Countries the size and scale of the US are more linked that others, and much can be explained by keeping a close eye on the fortunes of America.

The US dollar is suffering from something of a slump at the moment – becoming weaker against currencies right across the world. The value of the Australian dollar fits into that wider narrative.

The trend is being partly blamed on the performance of President Trump – who seems to be locked into a cycle of constant political crisis – and partly on a policy choice to make the US more competitive by embracing a weaker currency.

Kristina Hooper, the global market strategist at Invesco, said: “We’re going to see continued weakness in the dollar. It is very much a vote of confidence, or lack of confidence, in the U.S. economy.”

Iron ore is in demand

But we shouldn’t ignore other factors. Renewed demand for Australia’s raw commodities has also been a part of the dollar’s surge – and also shines a light on wider trends in the global economy.

The price of iron ore and coking coal, as ABC notes, is up by about 15 and 10 per cent respectively.

Much of this comes from strong demand in the world’s other leading economy – China.

Indeed, it’s tempting to look at the two factors together as evidence of the changing of the guard – with China overtaking or rivalling the US as the world’s economic superpower. That’s up for debate – but it’s certainly a long term trend in the global economy that experts and analysts will be keen to track.

Nothing is black and white

Yet, while the rising Australian dollar is good news for importers and the falling US dollar good news for people wanting to take a holiday in America, it’s also worth noting that every bit of financial news that creates a winner also creates losers.

Exporters cannot afford for their goods to become uncompetitive, while sluggish wage growth also risks creating an issue with inflation.

Indeed, when it comes to competitiveness, AiG found that 80 US cents is a ‘tipping point’. It found that 79 per cent of manufacturers were ‘very competitive’ if the Australian dollar was valued at 70-80 US cents. That figure falls to 38 per cent if it reaches 81-90.

The global economy is full of winners and losers – and no-one should ever be fooled into thinking that things are ever black and white.

Top picks for Blog Website Hosting for Australians in 2019

Post updated for 2019. Now I do know, that there are some good aussie web hosts in Australia , but if you are starting out with a new website or blogging site and need some cheap hosting  then it would be wise to do research before buying your webhosting.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label="Image besthosting2017" _builder_version="3.0.98" src="https://www.digitalgrog.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/updated-2018-best-hosting-for-websites-blog.png" show_in_lightbox="off" url_new_window="off" use_overlay="off" always_center_on_mobile="on" force_fullwidth="off" show_bottom_space="on" /][et_pb_text admin_label="I have used a mix" _builder_version="3.0.92" background_layout="light"]

I have used a mix of aussie hosts and US based web-hosting providers  in my list below and prices for blogging software and web-hosting can certainly differ a lot between these hosts.

US web-hosts can be quite competitive and affordable compared to some  of our local Australian companies.

I posted this price table below in 2017, but prices and features have been regularly updated. [ This post was updated on  09 January 2018 ]

Affordable Wordpress Hosting in Australia

I got this question asked to me on this blog ..

“I am planning to start a blog, most likely using the wordpress  blogging platform and  I am looking for a good web host (Australian preferable since most of my content will be for Australians).

– I have received many similar questions  since then –  so I decided to do this post

wordpress hosting for australia by go daddy 

I have purchased .com.au domains from smarty host (local aussie provider –now netregistry) when I started my bloggin journey,  they used to provide a website hosting service as well which i never tested out .

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Net-registry are pretty good” _builder_version=”3.17.2″]

Net-registry are pretty  good  with their domain names service, however if you want to compare Australian web hosting prices against the  US based providers. Some of the US based  providers are definitely more affordable even with domain name prices(check my blog post where I recently bought .au domain name from Godaddy at a nice discount price here).

Godaddy also sell SSL certificates which help you secure your website and get https in your url (this help in ranking your website). Their custom plans also feature SSD hard drives now.

Below, I will also include smarty host(netregistry) in my comparison chart  for Australian + US hosting providers packages.

Dedicated servers are not listed  as they are more pricey and only shared plans which are affordable  have been featured here for bloggers and beginner websites .

I will rank them in order of my ratings  and preference with the best at the top of this list  as per my experience with them, except for smarty host  who I don’t  use for hosting  but just domain names – who is right at the top.

I have been using the rest of the Hosting companies mentioned for the last 10+ years while blogging. Some of these hosting plans listed below, also offer a bonus free domain name.

The first thing  to do when you are starting your  own website rather than hiring a website designer or  web developer, is to  get the WordPress platform to build your website.

This platform is regularly updated  to keep you safe from hackers  and upto date with the latest version of wordpress.

I say this because I have also used Joomla and Drupal  website builders which are good content management systems, but they are not as good as the WordPress platform in ease of use and flexibility to customise as per your needs.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”The ranking above” _builder_version=”3.0.86″ background_layout=”light”]

The ranking above is based on  my use of these service providers based on price, reliability, affordability, up-time, features, ease-of-use, server speed and overall support.

There is always the option to use premuim  Australian Web Hosting from good companies like rackspace or crucial, but budget shared US hosting is OK if your are just starting  a blog or website.

You can also get an .au domain name and still use US Webhosts  to host your Australian webpage.

What is shared hosting?

Shared web hosting is what most people mean when they refer to “web-hosting”.  It simply means that many customers’ websites reside on a single web server, and that the server’s resources (CPU and RAM) are shared among every customer account on the machine.

Shared Plans is cheap because many people share one server.

Most shared hosting plans  listed above offer free quick install scripts like above in the pic and sometimes also offer free design templates for your webpage,  Free domain email, FTP, $100 google adwords bonus   and Facebook advertising coupons etc.

To be fair, though, we still use these services even if we weren’t an affiliate.

Some local reviews  ( from whirlpool.com.au)

.com.au, .net.au, .org.au Domain Names

NameScout

I found the cheapest provider to the public at only $59.99 per domain (2 years registration included – I  think this is pricey ), they had a really nice site, great functionality (they create redirecting email address’ on their servers that randomly generate so you don’t get spam from who is lookups which is awesome).

Only downside was their customer service, not only they don’t answer emails on weekends, they operate from Barbados, so if you send an email during the day you tend to not get a reply till early the next morning (e.g. 2 am). (Quote: eXtreme)

GoDaddy!

The cheapest I found was which was $7.95 US (on special) but normal price was $8.95 which is still great, and they offer the same management features as most other registrars. Only downside is they have a fair bit of ads on their site (no pop-ups), but since you barely ever visit your registrar it is no problem. I found registration very easy and they customer service was excellent. (Quote: eXtreme)

NameCheap

Namecheap is good: $8.88 US a year for .com, .net, .org and SSl certificates (https in your domain name)
Just registered 2 domains with them – no problems so far. (Quote: pcpowerplay)

Best Rated Webhosting for Australia – Comparisons Price and Reviews

by 9 Comments

[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.105″ background_layout=”light”]

Based on our own usage and comparison reviews , we bring you the

2017 webhosting prices and comparison australia 2

The top website hosting for March 2018

As a blogger and website builder, I have used many webhosting companies including US and Australia based ones  to create websites and below is collection of some of the best that I would recommend for this year.

I have used over  20 companies to test out reliable providers over time and below are some of them that I would still gladly suggest to anyone in 2018.

Let’s check out our listing of best webhosts for 2017-18 after our analysis, review and comparison from the past few years to make it easier for you to make the right informed choice.

I have written a “recommended” against our tops pick of hosts, but feel free to choose which one suit’s you needs best.

[table “2” not found /]

Choosing a service provider to start your first website, online store or blog can be the most important step you take while building your business and its essential to do the right thing from the start.

Some of the important factors are the obvious – Site speed, Disk space, Ease of use, Flexibility, how many websites can I host on the webhosting-plan.

 

Australian Hosting or US hosting – what should i choose ?

How important is server location

server in australia for January February or march The  decision is always divided on this one, that is – if the server location should be in Australia or the US for your Australian based site. But I like to think that this decision is really  based of  the traffic that your beginner blog will attract.

If you are going  to get 100 % off all your traffic from Australia ,it makes sense to get an Australian host, but the truth is 90% of the websites always get a lot of traffic from the US, even if they are Australian based  and so  it makes sense to get a cheaper US host.

Keep in mind that most Australian hosting providers are more expensive than their US counterparts so this will definitely make a difference to your budget.

 

What Plan is good for me ?

Most of the plans listed here  are  suitable for beginner websites as well as established websites. These shared plans while cheap can still easily take upto 2000 to 3,000 hits a day and function  smoothly, so you don’t need to upgrade for a while at least.

Some starter plans allow just one  website, so  choose the correct plan if you think you are going to start more than 1 website. Most shared plans allow you to host multiple websites with  1 hosting account purchase.

Once you are doing big numbers like 3000 + hits a day it is wise  to consider new hosting or then  getting CDN services which are a cheaper upgrade for higher traffic. If you get a CDN  add-on  once you start getting higher traffic you can still use your existing host and still enjoy faster speeds.

Price of wordpress Hosting

There is no  fixed price  for  hosting  as companies run deals all the time,which we update over here, but generally  the price range for  hosting is anywhere  between $3.45 to $5.95 a month, though when there are special deals you can get prices going down as low as $1 month, $1.95 a month  or as high as $7.99 month to $11 a month and this is all for the starter plans  or shared hosting.

As soon as  you talk about VPSs , dedicated, Cloud  and managed  hosting plans  the prices  start from $11 and upwards. There are some premium WP hosts that  charge upto $30,000 a month for high traffic plans  with CDN etc inbuilt.

What is CDN services?

Its just a service that  routes your traffic via the fastest route to your audience or website visitors, keeping your blog or webpage fast.It normally costs between $3 to $4 a month  depending on which provider you go with. CDN’s are Quite popular today  for blogs that have traffic spikes.

Different Kinds of hosting services

There are three main types of hosting:

  1. Cheap Shared Hosting
  2.  VPS Hosting
  3.  Dedicated Hosting & Managed or optimised Hosting

For most of those reading this, you’ll want to go for the cheap web hosting type (shared hosting), as it’s perfect for small to medium sized businesses.

However if  you want to go one step further  and get a little more bang for your buck, then you can choose a VPS or Dedicated plan by clicking a  link and then exploring more plans on the seller website. There are shared plans, then  starter plans , Pro plans  all named differently with every different provider.

There are different plans like Linux hosting plans  and Windows Hosting plans, but they both do a excellent job of  displaying your wordpress website , irrespective of all this technical jargon.

One click Install for WordPress

1 click install for webs and cpanel for july august or septemberSetting up your  first website-Or-blog will be something that you will always remember  and its best to hope for it  to be a good experience.  I would definitely suggest a host that makes the process easier  with easy to install automated scripts  to set up your blog yourself.

Bluehost and Godaddy has a customised install process and  they have “1 click install”. With this custom install process – you can  install a new wordpress site in as quick as 10 minutes with just a few clicks.

There is step by step instructions given to you through the install process via the admin dashboard, to make the website installing as easy as possible and that is why my top recommendations are for these two webhosts.

Cpanel the Hosting and  WordPress backend

The backend for the hosting account is the cpanel admin area. This is where you can get a bit technical and adjust things further, like get detailed stats for your blog. Set up FTP access. Peek into your SQL database and php admin area. Change admin passwords  and do heaps of other stuff.

But messing around in this area is not necessary, as you could do easily do most of the basic and important stuff like adding graphics and content from the front end of your website.

WordPress as a website builder

WordPress is a very versatile  website building software. Once you install your  wordpress site you can  change the look/design of your blog in one click  by changing the wordpress theme or template.

You get thousands of free templates via the wordpress admin area. If you want a robust  and well supported professional looking template design – you can also buy premium template designs from online sellers.

WordPress uses a system called plugins to add functionality to your website. You can easily add many functionalities by adding free WP plugins available in the free word-press marketplace or then again you can just buy some premium plugins for  adding further functionality.

The flexibility is there, to use either free or paid wp themes with your site and any plugins you choose to enhance  your wp site functionality is a bonus with these wordpress hosting-plans listed above.

No software is easier that WP software for building a website quickly and easily  and that is why this software has become one of the topmost used software for website building. Popular websites like  CNN,  SONY, MTV and BBC America also use them.

Most of them providers I have listed above do cover most of these features that are needed for your webpage/site.

Not many people  focus on ease of use and flexibility when choosing a service provider – but these are very important factors to consider while signing up for a new hosting plan to set up your new blog or site/shop.

Bluehost and Godaddy have millions of user’s setting up their first online-website by themselves and have made it the easiest process to do it yourself.  They can also be considered “cheap web hosting providers”  when their deals are on.

Saying that tho, the rest are not far behind in pricing and most providers will provide you a quick click and install process to get started with a professional WordPress(WP) website.

Is wordpress free to use ?

free to use software for april may or juneYes  word press is free software by itself  and can be used by anybody, the problem is that  if you want  to get it working  from your own pc as a server, you will have to go through a lot of technical settings  like DNS adjustments,  routing domain names   which will be through your pc .

Most providers  already have their custom built installers for  wp  and so provide provide wp as a 1 click install With hosting for the easy building of your WP blog/website.

Most of the above providers allow you to build your website with wordpress and also have many other website platforms like joomla, Drupal and many more.

Looking for Australian article writers for websites

by 6 Comments

If you own a blog or website one of the most time consuming work you would be doing to make you blog or website more popular would be writing  great articles and good content for your website. Many bloggers or website owners wish they could outsource this task to other people.

Are Australian Article Writers – Hard to get

In fact many bloggers have already started doing it  , but many have since realised that the quality and engagement created by the article is not worth the money or then they are not getting any Google love due to the weak articles produced for cheap money spent.

Websites offering Content writing

Websites such a

freelancer.com

and elance.com

odesk.com and other similar websites  – focus more on website development  and is pretty good for that , but fail to deliver on copy writing  or content writing in my opinion  as these areas are not their main focus.

The professional level of English sought for the articles for a well established blog or website are often hard to get from these kinda websites due to the writers bidding for the projects not being that professionally adept for the job.

I Currently have a free $20 bonus from freelancer  for new sign ups, so feel free to use this for any writing or website project of yours that you are planning  to outsource to someone on freelancer.

Content produced by a professional like copyblogger is often hard to get , or if not hard to get  then quite pricey  to afford  ($80 for 300 words wow..they might be writing with a gold pen ) for a blogger or website owner  to make any financial sense  to them. Often you have to search  hard until you get the perfect candidate for writing.

With the new google panda update affecting how we manage our blog and content on it  and also now search engines like bing are getting in on the act of re-defining their SEO and search parameters.

A post οn Webmasterworld frοm Duane Forrester explains that if a user searches for a term and reaches your website and  quickly clicks out of your website  its obvious the content is not as interesting or good and they search engines are definitely taking into account these statistics into their search algorithms.

Get Australian article writers for your blog or website

article creation copywriterIf you’re looking for a good copywriter in Australia or another country for your web pages or other online marketing material,  I write articles about finance , technology, Stock market and Business and political issues with a Australian focus  but can also write  for an international focus.

I mainly do only these articles  as I like to follow the news  around these topics.

The website or blog content you receive from me will be high quality and unique. It will not be sold to others or re-used and it will not have been created by any article spinning software that some cheap article writers use on some of the more popular freelancing providing websites.

Writing is a process of constant learning and self-improvement, but the good news is, there is a wide range of organisations and and services across the country devoted to helping writers improve their craft.
